Frequently Asked Questions
Ruger Charger Takedown for sale

What is a Ruger Charger Takedown?

Ruger's 22 Charger Takedown is a compact semi-auto pistol chambered in .22 Long Rifle with a 15-round capacity. The barrel separates from the receiver via a twist-lock mechanism for easy transport. Currently in production, it's well-suited for range use or as a truck gun, retailing around $543.

Is the Ruger charger accurate?

Stock Ruger Chargers typically shoot sub-inch groups at 50 yards and around two inches at 100 yards. Performance improves with quality ammunition and optics. Accurate enough for plinking and range work, though not a competition target pistol.

How much is my charger worth?

Your Ruger 22 Charger Takedown typically sells for around $543. Most listings range from $410 to $920 depending on condition, configuration, and retailer. Current market has three variants in stock across 18 retailers. Actual value depends on barrel length, accessories, and overall condition.

Can you put a stock on a Ruger charger?

Yes, you can add a stock to a Ruger Charger. Aftermarket options like the Archangel stock fit the platform. However, since the Charger is a pistol, adding a stock without also installing a 16-inch or longer barrel creates an illegal SBR requiring NFA registration. Always ensure barrel length compliance first.

What is the best scope for a Ruger Charger 22?

For close-range plinking, a red dot like the Sig Romeo5 or Vortex Crossfire is a popular choice. For small game hunting, a 2-7x pistol scope with long eye relief works well. If bench shooting, a standard rimfire scope mounted forward on the rail also works effectively.

Is a Ruger 22 charger considered a pistol?

Yes, Ruger classifies the 22 Charger as a pistol. It's a semi-automatic .22 LR handgun built on the 10/22 platform. Adding a stock without a 16-inch barrel creates an illegal short-barreled rifle requiring NFA registration, so its configuration matters legally.

What calibers does the Ruger charger come in?

Ruger offers the Charger in three calibers: .22 Long Rifle (22 Charger), 9mm Luger (PC Charger), and 5.7x28mm (LC Charger).
